The Citizen, 1992-07-15, Page 11THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, JULY 15,1992. PAGE 11. Scuba shop defies zoning regulations continued from page 3 Councillors also turned down recommendations from the Min­ istry of Environment on the word­ ing of the definition of properties marked "holding zone". The changes would have insisted that developers prove there would be no harm to the environment by a zon­ ing change that allowed develop­ ment. Councillors felt they already would insist on that anyway so the changes were an unnecessary bureaucratic interference. "Why you have to 'motherhood' it with a statement is beyond me," Council­ lor Elliott said. *** Councillors, with some reluc­ tance, agreed they didn't see much point in fighting the establishment of a small shop to sell scuba diving equipment in a Dinsley St. East property, although they didn't think the shop met the exact definition of "boutique" mentioned in the zoning for the area. The shop would be located in a C5 zone (fringe core commercial) which allows "boutique retail" as Play needs doors Anyone have any extra doors to spare? As part of the Listowel Home- coming 1992 celebrations, play­ wright and former resident Paul Thompson is writing an original play called "Two Worlds—A Jour­ ney Through Listowel", and he is looking for doors for the perfor­ mance. The doors can't be too heavy or large since actors have to be able to move them. Anyone with informa­ tion can phone Mr. Thompson at the Blyth Festival, 523-9300. Tickets for the play are apparent­ ly selling very well, and Mr. Thompson advises anyone wanting to see the play to buy their tickets soon. Permits granted The East Wawanosh Township council held their July 7 meeting in - the East Wawanosh council cham­ bers. The following building permits were given out at the meeting. Groenberg Farms on north part Lot 28, Cone. 9, was approved to build a storage barn and silo. Allen Snowden on the north half of Lot 37, Cone. 12, was given a permit to build a machinery storage shed and hay barn. An addition onto the home of James Campbell on the south half of Lot 35, Cone. 5 was approved. Barry Elliott was granted a permit to build a silo on part Lot 28, Cone. 14. Murray Dawson on part Lol 40, Cone. 13 may now build a bunker silo. Allan Walker has a demolition permit for his shed on the bam. Council approved the severance application for Margaret and Jacob Kuepfer. Council approved the forwarding of 50 per cent of a grant to the Bel­ grave Community Centre Board. The total amount forwarded was $750 for the year 1992. Reports from the Auburn Drainage Works were received from Tom Pridham and forwarded to the owners. Total cost of the drainage works is $380,000. Coun­ cil will consider the report on the July 21 meeting in the Auburn Community Hall. Robert Charter gave his report on the Wilderness to Wawanosh histo­ ry book finances. Council approved the final payment of $12,600 to the New Horizons book committee. This fee covers all out­ standing accounts. In total, the township has contributed $35,440 to the project, which will be coun­ terbalanced by the sales of the book. well as existing residential proper­ ties. Councillors fell it didn’t meet a strict definition of the meaning of boutique but did meet the generic definition. "In my opinion it would qualify" said Councillor Sparling, * pointing out it is a small, special­ ized store with a limited clientele. "I do have a concern with parking." Councillor Elliott agreed that he didn't think it would be doing the right thing to use taxpayers' money to get legal advice on such a marginal issue. Council supported a resolution from the Township of Hullett expressing concern over the loss of local coverage, particularly farm coverage, with the closure of pro­ duction facilities at CKNX televi­ sion and asking that CKNX not become merely a relay station for CFPL-TV in London. Another resolution was supported calling for the province not to take action on "disentanglement" and M.P.P. Paul Klopp not vote on any such legislation until both the gov­ ernment and M.P.P.s have consult­ ed with all local municipalities. "Disentanglement" is designed to straighten out jurisdiction in vari­ ous shared fields between the province and local counties, regions and municipalities. Basical­ ly it would mean that areas like welfare would be taken over com­ pletely by the province while areas like local roads would be taken over entirely by the municipalities. Such a shift is favoured by large cities where welfare costs are high­ er than road costs but in rural areas could see taxes double to pick up the additional road costs if no sub­ sidies were available.
